Abstract
Electrochemical biosensors have emerged as powerful tools for the ultrasensitive detection of lung cancer biomarkers like carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neuron-specific enolase (NSE), and alpha fetoprotein (AFP). This review comprehensively discusses the progress and potential of nanocomposite-based electrochemical biosensors for early lung cancer diagnosis and prognosis. By integrating nanomaterials like graphene, metal nanoparticles, and conducting polymers, these sensors have achieved clinically relevant detection limits in the fg/mL to pg/mL range. We highlight the key role of nanomaterial functionalization in enhancing sensitivity, specificity, and antifouling properties. This review also examines challenges related to reproducibility and clinical translation, emphasizing the need for standardization of fabrication protocols and robust validation studies. With the rapid growth in understanding lung cancer biomarkers and innovations in sensor design, nanocomposite electrochemical biosensors hold immense potential for point-of-care lung cancer screening and personalized therapy guidance. Realizing this goal will require strategic collaboration among material scientists, engineers, and clinicians to address technical and practical hurdles. Overall, this work provides valuable insight for developing next-generation smart diagnostic devices to combat the high mortality of lung cancer.

Abstract
The in vivo and on-site detection of key physiology parameters in plants will be of great relevance for precision agriculture and food technology. In this work, a sensitive enzymatic glutamate sensor was successfully developed. To enhance the conductivity and catalytic ability and to fix the glutamate oxidase, Au-Pt nanoparticles were first deposited on screen-printed electrodes, and then carboxylated graphene oxide and carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes were fabricated for the synthesis of the electrode. The detection range of the glutamate sensor is widest (2 μM to 16 mM) up to date, and its detection limit is relatively low (0.14 μM). A number of standard curves were built in the pH range of 3.5-7.5, which can be applied in various plants and fruits. Using this sensor, the glutamate level in tomatoes was determined in vivo. This glutamate sensor has important practical value in precision agriculture. Our strategy also provides a way to establish the detection modes for other biomolecules in plants.

A Redox-Probe-Free Immunosensor Based on Electrocatalytic Prussian Blue Nanostructured Film One-Step-Prepared for Zika Virus Diagnosis. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:623. [PMID: 36005020 PMCID: PMC9406047 DOI: 10.3390/bios12080623] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/10/2022] [Revised: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The Zika virus (ZIKV) is a great concern for global health due to its high transmission, including disseminating through blood, saliva, urine, semen and vertical transmission. In some cases, ZIKV has been associated with microcephaly, neurological disorders, and Guillain−Barré syndrome. There is no vaccine, and controlling the disease is a challenge, especially with the co-circulation of the Dengue virus, which causes a severe cross-reaction due to the similarity between the two arboviruses. Considering that electrochemical immunosensors are well-established, sensitive, and practical tools for diagnosis, in this study we developed a sensor platform with intrinsic redox activity that facilitates measurement readouts. Prussian blue (PB) has a great ability to form electrocatalytic surfaces, dispensing redox probe solutions in voltammetric measurements. Herein, PB was incorporated into a chitosan−carbon nanotube hybrid, forming a nanocomposite that was drop-casted on a screen-printed electrode (SPE). The immunosensor detected the envelope protein of ZIKV in a linear range of 0.25 to 1.75 µg/mL (n = 8, p < 0.01), with a 0.20 µg/mL limit of detection. The developed immunosensor represents a new method for electrochemical measurements without additional redox probe solutions, and it is feasible for application in point-of-care diagnosis.

A probe-free electrochemical immunosensor for methyl jasmonate based on ferrocene functionalized-carboxylated graphene-multi-walled carbon nanotube nanocomposites. Talanta 2021; 232:122477. [PMID: 34074445 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122477] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2021] [Revised: 04/21/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is an endogenous plant hormone, which plays an important role in agriculture production. A novel probe-free electrochemical immunosensor was fabricated for detecting of MeJA. Fc, carboxylated graphene (COOH-GR) and carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (COOH-MWNT) composite was formed and used to fabricate screen-printed electrode (SPE). Fc was used as the electronic medium. COOH-GR and COOH-MWNT were used to improve the conductivity and catalytic activity of the sensor and to immobilize the MeJA antibody. Thus, the immunosensor can be used to detect MeJA without external redox probe solution. The designed sensor can detect MeJA in a wide range of 100 fM-100 μM, and its detection limit is as low as 31.26 fM (S/N = 3). The as-prepared probe-free immunosensor is simple, low cost, and does not need redox probe solutions for measurements, which shows great promise for future application in precision agriculture.

Abstract
Rapid, accurate, portable, and large-scale diagnostic technologies for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) are crucial for controlling the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). The current standard technologies, i.e., reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, serological assays, and computed tomography (CT) exhibit practical limitations and challenges in case of massive and rapid testing. Biosensors, particularly electrochemical conducting polymer (CP)-based biosensors, are considered as potential alternatives owing to their large advantages such as high selectivity and sensitivity, rapid detection, low cost, simplicity, flexibility, long self-life, and ease of use. Therefore, CP-based biosensors can serve as multisensors, mobile biosensors, and wearable biosensors, facilitating the development of point-of-care (POC) systems and home-use biosensors for COVID-19 detection. However, the application of these biosensors for COVID-19 entails several challenges related to their degradation, low crystallinity, charge transport properties, and weak interaction with biomarkers. To overcome these problems, this study provides scientific evidence for the potential applications of CP-based electrochemical biosensors in COVID-19 detection based on their applications for the detection of various biomarkers such as DNA/RNA, proteins, whole viruses, and antigens. We then propose promising strategies for the development of CP-based electrochemical biosensors for COVID-19 detection.

Reagentless Affimer- and antibody-based impedimetric biosensors for CEA-detection using a novel non-conducting polymer. Biosens Bioelectron 2021; 178:113013.

Abstract
Polyoctopamine (POct), an amine-functionalised non-conducting polymer, as the transducer layer in an electrochemical biosensor, is presented. This polymer offers versatile covalent coupling either through thiol linker conjugation, carboxyl or aldehyde functional groups without the requirement of pre- or post-surface activation. The colorectal cancer biomarker carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was selected as the target analyte, whilst an antibody and a synthetic binding protein, an Affimer, were used as distinct bioreceptors to demonstrate the versatility of polyoctopamine as a transducer polymer layer for oriented immobilisation of the bioreceptors. The electrodeposited polymer layer was characterised using cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and on-sensor chemiluminescent blotting. The performance of optimised POct-based biosensors were tested in spiked human serum. Results showed that the electropolymerisation of octopamine on screen printed gold electrode generates a thin polymer film with low resistance. Close proximity of the immobilised bioreceptors to the transducer layer greatly enhanced the sensitivity detection. The sensitivity of the smaller monomeric bioreceptor (Affimer, 12.6 kDa) to detect CEA was comparable to the dimeric antibody (150 kDa) with limit of detection at 11.76 fM which is significantly lower than the basal clinical levels of 25 pM. However, the Affimer-based sensor had a narrower dynamic range compared to the immunosensor (1-100 fM vs. 1 fM - 100 nM, respectively). All electrochemical measurements were done in less than 5 min with small sample volumes (10 μl). Hence, polyoctopamine features a simple fabrication of impedimetric biosensors using amine-functionalisation technique, provides rapid response time with enhanced sensitivity and label-free detection.

Abstract
Ultrasensitive and low-fouling microRNA electrochemical biosensors were successfully constructed by introducing thiol-terminated antifouling molecules (peptide sequence, polyethylene glycol, or mercapto alcohol) onto the surface of polyaniline-modified electrodes. For the three kinds of antifouling materials investigated, the newly designed and synthesized peptide exhibited superior antifouling ability to others, and it could effectively reduce the nonspecific adsorption of proteins and even prevent the fouling effect of serum. Compared with microRNA biosensors without antifouling capability, or those modified with polyethylene glycol or mercapto alcohol, the biosensor modified with the designed zwitterionic peptide showed the highest specificity for single-base mismatch, three-base mismatch, and completely complementary microRNAs. Most interestingly, the experimental results indicated that the introduction of antifouling molecules to the sensing interfaces did not significantly change the sensitivity of the biosensor. The strategy of constructing antifouling biosensors based on newly synthesized zwitterionic peptides and conducting polymers can be promisingly extended to the development of other electrochemical sensors and biosensors without encountering biofouling. Graphical abstract Ultrasensitive and low-fouling microRNA electrochemical biosensors were constructed by introducing thiol-terminated antifouling molecules (peptide sequence, polyethylene glycol, or mercapto alcohol) onto the surface of polyaniline-modified electrodes. The biosensor modified with the designed zwitterionic peptide showed the highest specificity amongst four kinds of biosensors.

Abstract
Conducting polymers are of interest due to their unique behavior on exposure to electric fields, which has led to their use in flexible electronics, sensors, and biomaterials. The unique electroactive properties of conducting polymers allow them to be used to prepare biosensors that enable real time, point of care (POC) testing. Potential advantages of these devices include their low cost and low detection limit, ultimately resulting in increased access to treatment. This article presents a review of the characteristics of conducting polymer-based biosensors and the recent advances in their application in the recognition of disease biomarkers.

Abstract
Cancer is one of the most widespread challenges and important diseases, which has the highest mortality rate. Lung cancer is the most common type of cancer, so that about 25% of all cancer deaths are related to the lung cancer. The lung cancer is classified as two different types with different treatment methodology: the small cell lung carcinoma and nonsmall cell lung carcinoma are two categories of the lung cancer. Since the lung cancer is often in the latent period in its early stages, therefore, early diagnosis of lung cancer has many challenges. Hence, there is a need for sensitive and reliable tools for preclinical diagnosis of lung cancer. Therefore, many detection methods have been employed for early detection of lung cancer. As lung cancer tumors growth in the body, the cancerous cells release numerous DNA, proteins, and metabolites as special biomarkers of the lung cancer. The levels of these biomarkers show the stages of the lung cancer. Therefore, detection of the biomarkers can be used for screening and clinical diagnosis of the lung cancer. There are numerous biomarkers for the lung cancer such as EGFR, CEA, CYFRA 21-1, ENO1, NSE, CA 19-9, CA 125 and VEGF. Nowadays, electrochemical methods are very attractive and useful in the lung cancer detections. So, in this paper, the recent advances and improvements (2010-2018) in the electrochemical detection of the lung cancer biomarkers have been reviewed.

Abstract
This investigation develops a label-free and reagentless aptasensor, based on a capacitive transducer with simple face-to-face electrode pairs. The electrode pairs of the transducer are composed of a gold electrode and an indium tin oxide film with micrometer separation with a double-side polyethylene terephthalate tape. Aptamers and 1-dodecanethiol are modified to form a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on the gold electrode surfaces, and function as bio-recognition elements and preventers of non-specific protein binding, respectively. Electrochemical characterization results indicate that the SAM also forms an effective insulating layer, which is sufficient for capacitive sensing. The feasibility of the capacitive biosensor is validated using thrombin as a model analyte. The ultra-small value changes of capacitance originating from thrombin binding with the aptamers modified on the biosensor were measured with a home-made capacitance measuring circuit based on switched capacitor (SC) technology. The developed biosensor has detection limits of 1 pM and 10 pM of thrombin in phosphate buffered saline and mimic serum solution, respectively. The linear range for thrombin detection in human serum solution is from 10 pM to 1 μM, with a regression coefficient of 0.98. Additionally, the proposed aptasensor does not have significant levels of non-specific binding of bovine serum albumin and human serum albumin. Accordingly, the combination of SC and SAM bringing capacitive transduction at the forefront of ultrasensitive label-free and reagentless biosensing devices, particularly for point-of-care clinical analysis, which adopts small numbers of biological samples with low analyte concentrations.

Abstract
Accurate detection of protein biomarkers in complex media remains a challenge due to severe nonspecific adsorption and biofouling, and sensing interfaces that combine the high sensitivity and antifouling ability are highly desirable. Herein, an antifouling sensing interface capable of sensitively assaying immunoglobulin E (IgE) in biological samples was constructed. The sensing interface was fabricated through the self-assembly of a zwitterionic peptide and the IgE aptamer onto a macroporous Au substrate, which was electrochemically fabricated with the aid of multilayer polystyrene nanospheres self-assembled on glassy carbon electrode. Due to the huge surface area arising from porous morphology and high specificity of aptamer, the developed electrochemical biosensor exhibits ultrahigh sensitivity and selectivity towards IgE, with the linear range of 0.1-10 pg mL-1, and a very low limit of detection down to 42 fg mL-1. Interestingly, owing to the presence of the zwitterionic peptide, the biosensing interface can satisfyingly reduce the nonspecific adsorption and fouling effect. Consequently, the biosensor was successfully applied to detect IgE in complex biological samples, indicating great promise of this peptide-based sensing interface for antifouling assays.
